  Worth every penny!

  Do not let the setting fool you - this place is an absolute gem for indoor PNW weddings.
  
  Sarah was so easy to work with and helped us navigate the entire process. “Simple Done Well” is their mantra, and we felt that at every turn. Their day-of staff were so quick to jump in and make the day run just seamlessly. Incredible food (biggest compliment we’ve received from guests!), and a beautiful indoor space. We wanted something that required a very light touch for decor and The Loft absolutely delivered. It made life so easy to have their team coordinate various rentals (furniture and linens), and no need to manage vendor licenses or insurance with this venue. We would’ve loved the weather to cooperate enough to take full advantage of the beautiful courtyard. Would not hesitate to recommend for weddings or other events.

  Phenomenal venue and service!

  Just perfect! Megan was our venue coordinator and I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding perfect. Great communication, vendor referrals, suggestions. She arranged a wonderful dinner with the restaurant since menu tasting wasn't possible when we booked during lockdown. She also set me up with the bar manager to do a private wine tasting one afternoon. The food and drinks are beyond delicious. The staff is amazing. Megan made sure our ceremony rehearsal and wedding day all went according to plan. Having so many big ticket wedding items being coordinated by one person who understands the venue and menu saved us so much time and stress. Well worth every penny. And I cannot forget the absolutely beautiful space!

  Perfect day at the perfect venue!

  The moment we walked in to the Loft at Russell’s, my (now) husband and I immediately knew this was where we had to get married. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and barely needed any additional decor for the wedding.
  
  Lucie, the event coordinator at Russell’s, was a delight to work with. She was very responsive with emails, and never hesitated to answer any and all questions we had. We also hired a day-of coordinator, and they worked together with no issues whatsoever.
  
  We chose to do a buffet-style dinner, and people are still talking about how good the food was. It’s been six months since the wedding, and my mom is still raving about the mashed potatoes! My husband and I are so grateful to the staff at Russell’s who helped make our day so memorable.
  
  It was a perfect day, and it happened at the perfect place. I can’t recommend Russell’s enough!

  Best Wedding Venue!

  I couldn't speak more highly of our experience having our wedding at Russell's! First of all, you're guaranteed to have amazing food so that's an easy decision. Secondly, they handle all the rentals, service staff, bar, set up, tear down, etc. for you so that makes the planning process much more simplified. They do this all the time so there is no guess-work in regards to the day going smoothly. Additionally, the venue is stunning, well-kept and incredibly unique with tons of free parking. Finally, you get to work with their venue coordinator, Lucie, who is amazing. Through our wedding planning process she was prompt to respond to emails, extremely detail oriented, flexible, had great suggestions and helped make our day perfect. We could not possibly be happier with our decision to have our wedding at Russell's and know our guests loved it too!

  Absolutely first class!

  Our wedding was flawless. The team at Russell's Lucie and Sarah were amazing and made us feel completely at ease. Beautiful wedding from begging to end and beautiful bride to spend the rest of my life with, what more can you ask for.

  We used Russel's for our rehearsal dinner, but this would also make a fantastic ceremony or reception location. The event staff was so helpful, and the food is to DIE for. The space is an absolutely beautiful loft in a historic barn above Russel's restaurant, and easily held 80+ people for a seated dinner (and could hold more). The location is a bit odd, but once you are inside you forget all of it. I highly recommend them as both an event space and a caterer - and you should really check out the restaurant as well!

  Best day of my life!

  Best staff, venue & space we could have asked for!! The wedding was incredibly beautiful in the loft of the barn (looks like an upside down ship!). The rich deeps of the wood makes it so you really hardly need any decorations to make the space uniquely beautiful. They were so accommodating to our every request as well including last minute reshuffling of tables. Also - BEST FOOD ON THE PLANET.

  Wedding Reception

  The Venue was beautiful! The service from Lucy prior to the event, then the evening of the event was perfect! The staff was so attentive. I cannot remember the name of the gal that was overseeing staff during the event. I wish I could--she was professional and treated my husband and I as though the world revolved around our every need and want. I do not recall being serviced with such care, concern and professionalism. Worth every penny!

  The Loft at Russell's's reply:

  Dottie -
  Thank you so much for the kind words! Korrina was your lead that evening and yes, she is an absolute DREAM. I have passed your review on to Russell and also shared it with Korrina. Thank you again, your family is absolutely lovely and we are honored to have been part of your and Jerry's union.
  We wish you all the best!

  Caring staff who worked hard to make our event just the way we wanted it

  While we had a bit of a change over with a few different event coordinators while working with Russell's, we eventually got to work with Lucie, who was kind, prompt, and just all-around wonderful. It felt like she pulled out all the stops for us. She even let me have my unusual choice of milk for a beverage during the event =)
  
  We had the good fortune of meeting the owner as well. It is very obvious that he puts all of his heart and soul into the restaurant. We really appreciated getting to speak with him.
  
  The staff at Russell's was very professional and courteous. We can't rave enough about the food, we are still getting comments from our guests about how great it was, and how beautiful of a venue the Loft at Russell's was. We had a wedding ceremony and reception both upstairs and the team did such an amazing job flipping the room in-between that I hardly even noticed the change.
  
  Everyone at Russell's made our event the tremendously romantic and unforgettable experience that we'd always hoped it would be. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make it happen! We highly recommend this venue!

  We used Russell's for our rehearsal dinner. Although we chose to use their room downstairs, it was a fantastic choice! The food is amazing! Our wedding venue was in Snohomish and we had guests staying in Woodinville, so the location worked out perfectly.

  These guys are great. Sarah, the event coordinator is fabulous, fun and wants the couple to have an amazing event. We're a week away from our wedding and so far everything has been great with the team at Russell's.

  Top notch food and service

  I was a little nervous leading up to our wedding day as Russell's had changed their pricing and procedures a bit between when we put down our deposit and our wedding date. That said; Lucie, the event coordinator, was responsive and helpful to resolve our concerns, and when our guest list almost doubled, worked with us to keep prices under control.
  
  On the day of our wedding the staff at Russell's KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. Korrina, the lead the night of our wedding, did an amazing job. The food was amazing (and I mean amazing!). We received several compliments on the venue and the food. Our wedding was perfect thanks to the staff at Russell's.

  Good food and really pretty but honestly not worth the hassle of dealing with the staff, all the way from upper management to the servers. We had our wedding here a few weeks ago and the whole planning process was an absolute nightmare. Without exaggeration, the event coordinator belittled us and did very little to accommodate our simple requests. One of the worst experiences of my life. Shocked at all the positive reviews.

  My wife and I recently got married here. Although the venue is beautiful, I would not recommend it to anyone due to the staff's unprofessionalism and lack of communication. Throughout the planning process, the coordinators misled us multiple times in regards to certain accommodations; for example, because they had mistakenly approved of our proposal to hold 200 guests when they later revealed they could only hold 165, they offered to pay for our lights. When we brought up the lights later, they acted as though we were making it up out of thin air. I've never experienced a professional interaction like that in my life. Additionally, many of our guests noted that the members of the staff were being unreasonably rude to them. This included a staff member showing my brother attitude when he asked for a plastic straw for his water, and several guests having their simple requests for things such as an extra fork or napkin rejected. Don't let the pictures fool you - this place isn't worth it.
